Oh I don't blame him for leaving in any way. He likely didn't think too highly of being a champion that finally defended his title eighteen months after winning it.

I just figured they could have used what money they spent on the likes of Kongo, Tito, Rampage and potentially Kimbo to make a play at getting him back. Especially since he was the first heavyweight champion they crowned and retired undefeated.

Thanks for the article link. It certainly confirmed what I thought in that he made the best decision in leaving when he did.

If this is true I wonder why? he 7-0 in boxing. Sure he hasn't fought any one worth while but boxing seems like an easier payday for him. I also wondered why in had not had a boxing match in over a year tho, so maybe he wants to return to mma.

Sarcasm aside, am I crazy or does it seem like Bellashit is just signing guys that have name recognition at this point?

That's about where they're at, since clearly they aren't flourishing based solely on exciting fights.

It seems like Kimbo is the Bob Sapp of MMA in the US. Nobody cares how good he is or what his record is but they love to watch him fight. To be completely honest, the spectacle novelty of a Kimbo fight will always draw my attention, as much as I disdain what he brings to MMA.

Bellator has officially gone from being a legitimate alternative to Strike Force 2.0. Shame, I think if they had stuck to their tournament format and let the ranks do the talking they could have had minor success and maybe gotten momentum going but instead they are going the spectacle route. Funny that they aligned themselves with TNA, they are doing the same thing.
